Hi everyone, I have the below code that adds a new sheet to all of my files from subfolders. it works as expected, except when I call a function that I created.
VBA Code:
Sub MasterMac()

    Dim MyFolder As String 
    Dim myFile As String n
    Dim wbk As Workbook 
    Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject 
    Dim ParentFolder As Object, Sub_Folder As Object
    Dim FldrPicker As FileDialog

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .Title = "Please select a folder"
        .Show
        .AllowMultiSelect = False

        If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then 'If no folder is selected, abort
            MsgBox "You did not select a folder"
            Exit Sub
        End If
        MyFolder = .SelectedItems(1) & "\" 
    End With

For Each Sub_Folder In FSO.GetFolder(MyFolder).SubFolders
        myFile = Dir(MyFolder & Sub_Folder.Name & "\") 
        
        Do While myFile <> ""

        If myFile Like "*ABCD*" Then
            
            Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=MyFolder & Sub_Folder.Name & "\" & myFile)
            With wbk
            Sheets.Add.Name = "NewSheetABCD25"
            End With

            Call PicInsert
            
            wbk.Close savechanges:=True
        End If
        myFile = Dir 
    Loop
Next Sub_Folder

End Sub

My idea with the function is to pick a folder where some images are saved, and compare them with the name of my workbooks in subfolders. If inside the name of the image is a text that can be found also in the name of the Excel file, I would like to attach that image to that excel file. That is basically my condition. But I can't seem to get a working code. This is what I have so far:

VBA Code:
Public Function PicInsert(Optional row As Integer, Optional column As Integer)

Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim i As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim NewFolder As String
Dim myFile As String



With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .Title = "Please select a folder"
        .Show
        .AllowMultiSelect = False

        If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then 'If no folder is selected, abort
            MsgBox "You did not select a folder"
            Exit Function
        End If
        NewFolder = .SelectedItems(1) & "\" 
    End With

    myFile = Dir(NewFolder & "\" & "*.jp*")
    
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(NewFolder)


    
    i = 1
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files

    If InStr(1, objFile.Name, "jpg", vbTextCompare) Like "*ABD*" _
    And InStr(1, objFile.Name, "jpg", vbTextCompare) Like ActiveWorkbook.Name Then 
        With ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(objFile.path)
            With .ShapeRange
                .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
                .Width = 5
                .Height = 15
            End With
            .Left = ActiveSheet.Cells(row, column).Left
            .Top = ActiveSheet.Cells(row, column).Top
            .Placement = 1 'locks the picture to a cell
        End With
    End If
    i = i + 1
Next objFile
myFile = Dir
End Function

Can anyone help?

Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
